Beautiful setting with lots of green and old brick buildings. The bulkhead can not be visited, there is no parking and the whole area is private.

Nice castle which unfortunately is not open to the public. There is no parking space. But stopped the car along the road and took a shorter walk. Very nice chips.

The first written record of church in Danmark locality date back to the year 1291. Close to the church are several stones with a Christian text and cross inscribed. The oldest parts of the present red-brick church are from the 1300s. In the late 1400s the church was enlarged to the appearance it has today. The church has been modified both internally and externally several times, among other things after the fires in 1699 and 1889. There are lot of well-preserved mural paintings in the walls.
